Preventive care or total control?
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it…” Nancy Pelosi
So
what is in it? The second article in our Obamacare series is written
by the founder of NMTO and will cover the Constitutional aspect of
Obamacare. The goal of this article is to present potential effects of
the preventive care portion of the American Affordable Care Act, ask
questions which have not been answered and try to get to the bottom of
what exactly is in the health care legislation.
Let’s see if We The People can find out what is in it, before 2014.
The Liberal Argument
Under
the ‘general welfare’ of the citizens of the United States of America
it is imperative that all Americans have health insurance under the
American Affordable Care Act. (Please see part 2 for why the ‘general
welfare’ and/or commerce clause is not applicable for this piece of
Legislation and to understand the true intentions of those clauses from
the founding fathers.) In order to keep the cost down for everyone,
each person must have insurance. If not, those who refuse to purchase
health insurance are affecting the whole who have purchased, as
mandated, health care insurance. Should someone be allowed to pick up
health insurance on the way to the hospital? How is this fair to all of
those others who are being responsible and taking care of their health
and paying their premiums? The mandate is required for the good of all
or the good of society.
The Problem
The problem with this type of argument or any other liberal argument is that whether or not this makes sense it is:
A: Unconstitutional
B:
Against the free will, liberty and freedom of those individuals who
do not want to purchase health insurance (direct counter argument).
C:
While there are those who would view this argument as legitimate,
there are many unforeseen consequences that could/would go into effect
AFTER. This is the trick to liberalism, it seems like a good idea to
many, but it always goes in a direction that is MUCH further than what
nearly anyone would presume. What could/would happen, starting in 2014,
is the scope of this article.
Preventive Care
Who owns your body? Who is responsible for the care of your body? Yourself or the government, health industry?
If
Obamacare is ruled Constitutional under the general welfare and/or
commerce clauses of the United States Constitution then the preventive
care sections of this legislation are also likely to be ruled in the
same manner (should they be challenged in court). There is a little bit
of a difference though.
Under the Obamacare Act an individual
who has their own health insurance would be able to deny seeking or
getting preventive care by paying up to twice their monthly premium for
failing to fulfill the preventive care portions of their health
insurance. Under the Obamacare act the health insurance premiums can be
2 to 1 for preventive care and 3 to 1 for age. The scope of this
article is not to get into detail over the cost of Obamacare, but it
will be briefly mentioned later in this article.
There are also
many liberal arguments about this section of the bill. Do some make
sense to most? Sure, as always the liberal argument will subvert an
individual right under something that seems reasonable, case-in-point,
smoking — tobacco use.
Your Killing Me
It has been said
that smoking is safer than fascism and while I agree with this
statement, it is not true at first. If healthy based lifestyle
(prevention) ended at not smoking than perhaps there would be a
legitimate rationale to charge those who smoke or use tobacco more for
health insurance premiums or limiting where a smoker can light up for
the ‘good’ of all may make sense. (I completely understand the
Constitutional arguments about where one could be limited to smoking or
not smoking and agree, at the minimum, that private business owners have
the right to decide on their own private property what individuals can
or can’t do. The scope of this article is not to dive into these sort
of laws, of which I feel no necessity to write an article about.)
For
those who understand how this society really works in regards to the
FDA, USDA, Big Pharma, Factory Farms, unwholesome food, GMO’s, nanotech,
vaccinations, etc…you might wonder why in the world would the
government care about second hand smoke causing the deaths of innocent
Americans? Well so did I. At first it appeared that such state
legislation was subverting the rights of individuals and helping to
setup the stage for more police state tactics (like mandatory motorcycle
helmet or seatbelt laws) then after thinking upon the passage of
Obamacare it appears that this was mass conditioning for the government
to regulate the actions that negatively affect the health of citizens in
order to further utilize this to promote a total police state style of
control over one’s own health, individual freedoms and liberty. Using
tobacco usage as a starting point, as this is something that obvious
affects the health of millions and kills hundreds of thousands of people
per year, is a precursor of things to come.
Tobacco use is the
ideal starting point. Only an idiot would argue that cigarettes or
chew, etc., is not bad for the health of the user. Arguing that those
who frequent restaurants are going to get lung cancer or other
debilitating diseases if formidable at most…(with the exception of those
who work at these establishments.) So using this as the starting point
to control what people do and then once it is accepted by society that
certain behaviors are banned for the good of all, what could possibly be
next?
There is More to Preventive Care than Smoking
Of
course the next logical conclusion would be a healthy diet, followed by a
moderate amount of exercise. I believe that any individual should
agree that being tobacco free, eating healthy and doing a moderate
amount of exercise are good goals that should be attained by all who
want to try to be as healthy as possible. The problem remains that this
is an individual choice that each person has to make for their own
bodies, not a choice that should be made by the government or insurance
companies. The bigger problem is that preventive care goes far beyond
these assumed reasonable items. Let’s just get right into it.
What Preventive Care Means in Obamacare
There are seven different areas of preventive care in the American Affordable Care Act. These are as follows:
• Tobacco free living
• Preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use
• Healthy eating
• Active Living
• Injury and violence-free living
• Reproductive and sexual health
• Mental and emotional wellbeing
Now
we are going to go over and try to, with the best of this author’s
ability, decipher what exactly these preventive measures mean to your
individual liberties. While it will be hard or even impossible to prove
exactly what these mean prior to 2014, we are going to create a
hypothesis based off of facts received by this author regarding
preventive care. We will start with tobacco free living.
Preventive Care’s Total Control
Tobacco Free Living
As
many who have employer sponsored health insurance have found out in
recent months or a year or so ago, you have to PAY additional premiums
if you are a tobacco user. Ignoring the liberal argument mentioned
above let’s discuss exactly how this affects your personal liberty.
First
and foremost even as it is agreed that tobacco use causes harm, there
is a big difference between someone who smokes a pack of cigarettes per
day and occasionally smokes a cigar now and then. Yet under the
technical definition of many employer’s health insurance there is no
difference.
Should you use tobacco at all, then you will have to
pay additional money for your monthly health insurance cost. The most I
have heard of so far is an additional $87.00 per month or over an extra
thousand dollars a year. Is smoking a cigar every Saturday morning
while reading the newspaper on the porch going to cause disease? What
about those who on a rare occasion smoke a cigarette or two? Well for
those who don’t have such actions being taken against their paychecks at
work, let me enlighten you. Would you be dishonest about any tobacco
use, after all why ‘report’ a few cigars that you might have throughout
the year? There are now required tobacco testing in order to receive
the tobacco free discount or rather avoid the tobacco use penalty with
health insurers required at your annual mandated health review.
In
addition tobacco use is being banned in workplaces, public parks and
beaches and multiple housing units. There is also a push to ban tobacco
use in certain residential areas in various regions around the country.
The question that needs to be asked here is why a government who is
purported to care so much about the health of its citizens would allow
tobacco to contain the 4,000 additives that have been proven to be the
main cause of cancer and other diseases.
Cigarettes have been
nicknamed Chernobyl’s by some due to the amount of radioactive
fertilizers used in the growing of the tobacco. It is said that these
accumulate in the ground where the tobacco is grown and create a more
hazardous product every year. Tobacco is largely GMO and it is believed
that they have a higher level of nicotine in them, which makes them
more addictive. Also there are tons of chemicals that are added to the
tobacco during the processing which makes them very dangerous. Anyone
who uses tobacco products, with the exception of imported open air
dried, hand rolled cigars, are putting themselves at a very big risk due
to the lack of government intervention to make a safer product. When
it comes to preventing disease from the use of tobacco the government
falls way short.
Preventing Drug Abuse and Excessive Alcohol Use
This
is one that I haven’t seen any enforcement on, yet. Besides being
asked about your individual drug or alcohol use on a questionnaire, this
is rather benign at the moment. Will this mutate into mandate
drug/alcohol screening? Perhaps there will be random testing?
Health
insurance companies will be able to have screening for drug and/or
alcohol use. How frequent this will occur or whether it will be random
is yet to be determined. There is another side that the government
takes to implementing preventive care that pushes aside Americans right
to liberty and freedom.
Implementing and increasing sobriety
checkpoints under the guise of prevention. One of the preventive
measures that will be taken is the increase in unconstitutional
checkpoints that are used under the guise of stopping drunk driving.
Another measure that is being considered is an alcohol ignition system
in cars that would prevent the vehicle from starting if the operator has
been drinking. These type of government controls being implemented for
the sake of preventive care show just how big of a reach the government
arm will have into all Americans life, beginning in 2014.
One
last aspect of this particular area of preventive health is mental
health. Anyone who abuses drugs or alcohol under the definitions set
forth by the healthcare industry, insurers and government will be pushed
into mental health therapy to resolve those issues. After all the
government assumes that there must be some sort of mental deficiency
that is causes this unhealthy behavior. What sort of deficiency must
the government have to constantly to utilize atmospheric geoengineering
with aluminum and barium that accumulates in the soil and water?
Perhaps they themselves should seek some therapy?
Healthy Eating
Drinking
too much coffee? Eating too much fast food? Too many pieces of fried
chicken per week or one too many potato chips? This part of the
preventive care also has serious implications on one’s liberties.
Answering a questionnaire, recording your diet for a month and
education classes that are required to help learn how to eat healthy are
currently being implemented in many employer sponsored health care
plans. Right now during your annual physical evaluation that is
required in order to have the lower insurance premiums for your
employer, measurements of health are taken in order to ascertain your
overall condition.
These measures include your blood sugar level,
cholesterol screening, body-mass index and a few other basic evaluation
tests. Right now an individual who has too high of cholesterol, a
body-mass index that is over 25 or blood sugar levels that are
abnormally high can be educated in preventive classes, put on
medications and/or exercising programs and ‘try’ to correct the problem.
Beginning in 2013, for many employer sponsored health care programs
there will be an additional premium charge, just like tobacco use, for
those whose numbers are not within the current thresholds. There are
already some employers who charge for additional premiums for too high
of a BMI index. Please note that these thresholds at the moment are
relatively loose, but could be tightened later. Trying to better your
health in 2013 will no longer be helpful to avoid higher health
premiums. In 2013 you are expected to have corrected the problem or pay
a penalty for not doing so.
Another point of consideration is
member cards for grocery stores, a possible cashless society prior to
2014 (due to an economic collapse in America) and other proof or
tracking that you are indeed purchasing healthy food. In Aaron Russo’s
Freedom to Fascism movie it is pointed out that one of the goals of the
elite is to track all of your food purchases. The example given in the
movie is the person who wants to order a pizza but would have to pay an
outrageous amount of money, the order taker recommends that he gets some
tofu food instead to significantly reduce his overall bill, of which
the caller complies. This movie having been made several years before
the idea of this health care bill (with the exception of Hillary
Clinton’s push) and preventive care entered the mainstream threshold
adds more weight to this outlandish claim. Certainly even a small sales
tax required for all purchases on the national level would create a
tracking database. One other thing to take into consideration is that
each individual with have a unique health care identification number
assigned to them that will be linked to their medical information, which
is turn will be linked to their bank account. (It’s time to wake out
of the slumber America, you can check the facts yourself.)
The
potential for serious control over the healthy eating section of the
preventive care alone should infuriate Americans and cause them to
demand their Congressional representatives to remove the portions (at a
minimal) of the American Affordable Care Act that clearly infringes upon
each person’s rights from the law before the 2014 official start date.
Active Living
Part
of preventive care includes that you have a moderate amount of
exercising per week. This, like the healthy eating, could be tracked by
proving you attended the gym through your signing in at the gym.
Regardless of whether or not you choose not to exercise or do your own
thing independent of an established gym or sporting game would not
matter. At the moment the tracking of this includes a monthly log that
is turned into your employer (usually the human resources manager) that
includes a check for each day you exercised and what type of exercise
you did that day. Is that not an infringement right there on your
fourth Amendment right? (This would go the same as a food journal.)
Probably
the only plus side of this particular portion of preventive care is
many employers are offering a discount through your workplace at a local
gym. So if you were to go to the gym anyway you would save some money.
However there is a more notorious possible totalitarian aspect to
this.
Smart phones are very smart and becoming increasingly
popular and more and more used by the general public. As of late last
year nearly 1 out of every 3 people had a smart phone (this is before
the holiday sales and from my understanding these were a big selling
item). There are applications that can be installed on a user’s smart
phone to track the users movements while working out. In fact Nike has a
Nike + division that integrates your running activity over your smart
phone so that it records the movement of your shoes on your phones
global positioning system (GPS). This is touted as a good thing as you
are able to race your friends on Facebook even if you are in a
different city/state then them. Still these types of applications and
other developed in the future with integrated interactive footwear,
watches, etc. could easily pave the way for tracking your physical
activity per week (aerobic) that could be proof of your participation in
the active living portion of preventive care.
Many of our
forefathers did not exercise but many of them got a workout just
working. Sure if you sit in front of a computer screen typing for 40
hours per week it is probably a good idea to get outside and get some
fresh air and exercise, but what if your career is a logger, mail
carrier or another physically active job? Regardless, if you chose to
be lazy or inactive then that should obviously be your choice.
Injury and Violence-Free Living
Here
is where we take a turn in the preventive care. Now that we have
covered the basic measures that appear to be reasonable from a liberal
viewpoint, we turn to ideas that are foreign or intrusive to those who
hold conservative viewpoints, as well as the unsuspecting socialist
agenda supporter.
Before I get into the injury and violence-free
living aspect of preventive care I would like all readers to pause right
here and ask themselves how the health insurance industry, the
healthcare industry and the government would go about ensuring this.
After that brief pause, continue reading.
Imagine a world where
there is a face recognition device in your automobile that will prevent
operators who are too drowsy to drive from starting there vehicle?
Sounds like science fiction of the future? This is one of the measures
that the government has recommended to be implemented under the
preventive care portion of Obamacare. Nanny state, police state, call
it what you will but this is tyrannical draconian legislation that is
being thrust upon the American people without there knowledge. While I
certainly read some lists about what was in at least one version of the
healthcare bill before it passed into law, I have seen very little
mention of what we now know to be in the bill since its becoming law.
The
American people have a duty to look into legislation that has passed,
is being passed or currently being implemented. Trying to resolve
issues that come about from tyrannical legislation after the fact is a
lot harder than trying to stop them before they pass. As Americans we
are to hold accountable those who represent us and vote for such
legislation. However, instead of showing our disapproval and voting
someone new who would support the desires of their constituents, at
least in Michigan, both senators Levin and Stabenow where reelected
after voting for the healthcare bill. So please keep this in mind as we
jump into what appears to be our future under this piece of
legislation. Americans who are either educated to believe or dependent
upon socialism and agree with such legislation or those who are asleep
at the wheel are in the same boat. We can look at this legislation and
put the blame on those who passed it, but don’t forget to look in the
mirror. The citizens of the States in the Union are just as guilty as
those who voted for this legislation. Continuing…
One of the
preventive measures under the guise of injury and violence free living
is domestic violence screenings. Whether this would just be for women
or for men also remains a question. Already when a woman has a baby in
the hospital she is asked at the first opportunity that her husband is
gone (not going to be politically correct here with no apologies)
whether she is beaten, abused or lives in a hostile environment. What
would failure to answer the questions under the preventive care equal?
If you choose to not answer such personal questions would the nanny
state automatically assume there would be a problem and send social
workers and/or authorities your way? Don’t laugh at the idea of simply
opting out of this. Remember these are enforced for the supposed good
of society or general welfare for all.
Could this arm of the
preventive care also affect the Second Amendment of gun owners
throughout America with children or elderly in their homes? This is a
question that remains but what I do know for sure is that recently a
major insurer in Michigan poses a question of gun safety and children.
The recommendations of keeping guns locked up, gun trigger locks and
ammunition separate around children is laudable at best but it goes one
step further. In their magazine that promotes prevention and healthy
living they ask the readers to ask gun owners how they keep their guns
in their home prior to allowing their children to visit. The advice
given is that if their guns are not properly secured in the way set
forth, as briefly mentioned above, then do not allow your child(ren) to
visit. When is the last time you asked your neighbor about their guns
in their home? Unless this is someone who is a very good friend or
close family member it is certainly not a topic that is considered
table talk. Imagine your neighbor asking you what type of guns you own,
where you store them, where you store your ammunition and how you keep
them locked up? It is too earlier to tell where this particular piece
of the puzzle will ultimately go.
Here is an excerpt from the National Prevention Strategy in regards to this prevention clause:
“Implement and strengthen policies and programs to enhance transportation safety.
Effective
traffic safety policies and programs prevent motor vehicle-related
injuries and death. Examples include primary seat belt laws, child
safety and booster seat laws, graduated driver licensing systems for
young drivers (e.g., that include restrictions on nighttime driving and
carrying passengers), policies that reduce driving while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs (e.g., alcohol ignition interlocks,
sobriety checkpoints) or while drowsy or distracted (e.g., prohibitions
on texting), motorcycle and bicycle helmet laws, pedestrian safety
education, enhanced enforcement of speeding, and other safety
regulations.”
Looking at changing legislation that has occurred
within the past couple of decades, mostly in the past several years it
appears that state governments have been gearing up by implementing
measures of what will be the total control of society under the guise of
healthcare for quite some time. This may very well be a well thought
out evil plan that has been hatched for quite sometime that will
coincide with the fall of America economically and the police state that
will strong arm us into obedience in the future. Think of the recent
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was signed into law by
President Obama on December 31st, 2011. Add this healthcare
legislation, other socialist programs and legislation, what outcome does
our future hold?
In Michigan there is now a law that children
must be in booster seats until they are eight years old or a certain
height. This would have been unthinkable, and to me still is, a decade
or so ago, but now it is law. Could you imagine your parents dropping
you off to elementary school and still being in a booster seat? The
recommendations put out there by some is twelve years of age, maybe it
will be extended to that in the near future. Michigan also recently
enacted other laws that fit into this protocol.
We now have a
anti-texting and driving law, laws that restrict licenses on the young
drivers and their ability to transport others. The only thing that we
do not have that is in the above quote is a mandate to wear bicycle
helmets. Perhaps the government should provide all citizens with a
bubble so that we can safely commute? Ever wonder why so many bike
paths are being put up around the country in ‘rails to trails’ programs
and along state highways? There are recommendations for this also, as
well as redoing road design in order to prevention injury from motorist
and pedestrians. Just where is all of the money for these things when,
at least in Michigan, we can not maintain our current road
infrastructure. Our roads are falling apart, our bridges are dangerous
and no one seems to have the money to fix those things in order to
prevent undue injury or death. Think about how poor the roads are taken
care of by the county or city plows in many areas during and after a
snow or ice storm! If our government can not make the roads safe during
weather events perhaps they will have to shut them down while the storm
is ongoing, and indeed they already are in some parts of the country.
As
seen in the quote is also alcohol ignition interlocks and sobriety
checkpoints. As mentioned in a previous section this is being done
underneath the guise of preventive health measures. Unfortunately this
preventive measure gets worse.
Are you old? Do you have young
children living in your home? Well under the preventive care section
the government might as well come a knocking to help ensure your home is
safe. For the elderly this will include home modifications that can be
done to prevent falls for those who are independent (rich) enough to
stop themselves from being dragged into a nursing home. For children
this would include that gates be installed on the top/bottom of
stairways, other home safety device installed, etc. But why stop there?
There
is a call for all children’s playground to be checked for safety as
well as mandated safety gear for all children’s sporting events. In the
near future don’t be surprised if your child has on what looks like a
sumo-wrestling outfit and a helmet to play dodge ball, if that is not
already currently banned in your school district due to violence.
Have
you heard of the ‘school safety walking bus’ or the ‘safe routes to
schools’ initiatives? If not I would recommend all clearly thinking
Americans to check into these measures being implemented throughout the
United States. Remember when you were a kid and you could walk or ride
you bike home from school? In the future kids that walk or bike ride to
school may only be able to do so in a safety net with one parent or
teacher in the front of the group and one in the rear to ensure safe
arrival. I have seen a local daycare group with children hanging onto a
rope with a teacher in both the front and rear holding the ends of the
rope. Are such precautions really necessary?
There are also
other numerous issues that are set to come into play in both the
workplace and everyday school life for families throughout the United
States, beginning in 2014. These include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Workplace Safety Education
• Increased Visibility (Windows facing sidewalks, etc.) to Deter Crime
• CCTV (Closed Circuit Television Systems) at your workplace and schools.
• Reducing Poverty (Remember the government declared war on poverty in the sixties.)
• Increasing Graduation Rates (Michigan has talked about requiring persons to stay into school until the age of 19.)
•
School Based Programs (Bullying, Teen Dating Violence) Michigan just
recently passed anti-bullying legislation. Taken to the extreme, normal
children taunting, name calling, etc., can be reason to cause legal
action to be taken against the perpetrator. This is a whole different
issue but it deals with the First Amendment right as well as
criminalizing normal behavior.
There is one more aspect of this
section of the preventive care portions of Obamacare that need to be
looked at. Quoting again from the National Prevention Strategy:
“…intimate
partner violence prevention efforts; social development strategies that
teach children how to handle difficult social and peer situations
without violence; parent and family skill-based programs that support
positive family interactions and prevent infant and early childhood
exposure to trauma and violence; and youth development programs. In
addition, workplace interventions (e.g., worker training, security
systems, safety procedures) can reduce violence, bullying, and other
negative behaviors.”
We need to take a close look at a portion of
the above quote that has not been discussed earlier. The idea of
educational based training, psychological treatment and evaluation and
the overall social worker system that is being set up under Obamacare.
Who has the rights to train child(ren), the state or the parents? Who
can make sure that a child is trained properly, who is that
responsibility ultimately entrusted to? Well according to the
preventive measures that answer is the state.
The state will
train your child(ren) using mental health therapy in the public
brainwashing education system to ‘support positive family interactions’.
Did you know that there is now infant mental health programs available
for free in many areas? For those who use such programs perhaps the
therapist can decipher the babblings of your infant and tell you what
they are feeling and how to correct it (satire)? What is being setup is
the loss of parental rights in favor of the state ensuring that parents
raise their children according to the guidelines put forth by the state
for the supposed wellbeing of that child. If this sounds outlandish
please note that you are not watching a movie or reading a science
fiction book. It is time to awaken out of the walking sleep that you
have been in and realize what is coming your way as fast as a bullet
train, if it is even possible for the readers of this article to do so?
The government has no business in your personal home life, including
how you raise your children, feed your children, educate your children,
etc.
Reproductive and Sexual Health
The sad story of the
preventive sections of the Obamacare law is that what we have so far
learned about these measures are just the tip of the iceberg, there are
even worse matters to discuss. If you have never heard of the word
eugenics or don’t know what the definition is I suggest you find out
before reading this section. This article would never be finished if I
had to completely explain every single term used so that the far vast
majority would be able to understand it. While I hope that all will
educate themselves so that you can prove and understand what is in
Obamacare, I personally do not have time to write a book and the time we
have before such things go into effect is quickly ending. Some of the
terms for readers to understand the true meaning would be the following;
cognitive; evidence-based, behavior modification; outcome based
education; self perception; dynamics; values clarification; moral
relativism; core values. I will begin going over this section with
another quote from the National Prevention Strategy:
“ Increase use of preconception and prenatal care.
Preconception
and prenatal care can reduce birth defects, low birth weight, and other
preventable problems. Comprehensive preconception and prenatal care
includes encouraging women to stop smoking, refrain from using alcohol
and other drugs, eat a healthy diet, take folic acid supplements,
maintain a healthy weight, control high blood pressure and diabetes, and
reduce exposure to workplace and environmental hazards. In addition,
screening and providing services to prevent intimate partner violence
and infections (e.g., HIV, STI, and viral hepatitis) help to improve the
health of the mother and the baby.”
According to those like Eric
Holdren who helped author Ecoscience and Planned Parenthood who tried
to come up with ideas in the 1960′s to limit the amount of children born
and control the population through limiting who would be allowed to
have children, we might just see those evil fruits come into reality.

————————————
The
foundation has been laid years ago and with Obamacare, in 2014, the
building of eugenics will be raised. The goal of the elite has always
been a one-child policy and preventing invalids, including those who are
dumb-downed, impoverished, drug and alcohol users, ignorant, and have
supposed genetic DNA problems that could supposedly be passed to their
children by having children. Do not think for a minute that our health
care system could not regulate who could and could not have children,
how many children each man and woman could have (I will not be
politically correct again with no apologies) through the government by
placing implants or using other sterilizing devices, agents, with or
without the knowledge or consent of those whom the procedure is being
administered to. The evidence shows that this has been the desire and
the prevention care portion of Obamacare shows that there is the means
to bring forth such a eugenic mindset into reality. After all our
schools teach evolution as fact, this is just the Darwinian theory of
only allowing the fit to reproduce offspring. It makes no difference
that in the movie Ben Stein’s, Expelled, if those who would question
Darwinism should be blocked from speaking and not have academic freedom
or those who stand at the top of promoting Darwinism themselves see the
idea of life having been seeded by extra terrestrials as a possibility,
as ridiculous as that may seen. This is another subject that is not the
scope of this article though, continuing with more quoting from the
National Prevention Strategy:
” Providing pregnant and parenting
teens and women with supportive services during this time can help
ensure positive outcomes for both moms and children, such as graduation
rates and parenting skills. These supports can include services needed
to help these teens and women complete school, access health care
services, child care, and other critical support services. It can also
include efforts to combat violence against women.”
In reading the
following please note the above quote includes ‘and women’. What type
of support services will be necessary and critical for mothers? Will
these be mandated under the preventive section of the American
Affordable Care Act? I would bet on it. What type of parenting skills
will be taught? Exactly what type of child care will be provided and
what type of health care will these women have to access? Will this
include immunizations (more on this a bit later), scannings, genetic
testing to rid women of children that are not desirable to the state,
social support services that ensure parents are raising their young in a
government approved measure, using government approved supplements,
tools, etc? This is certainly how this section reads. Quoting further
from the same source:
” Provide effective sexual health education, especially for adolescents.
Medically
accurate, developmentally appropriate, and evidence-based sexual health
education provides people with the skills and resources to help make
informed and responsible decisions. In adolescents, this decision making
may delay initiation of sexual behavior; in adults, including seniors,
it may encourage safe sex even if pregnancy is no longer a concern.
Effective sexual health education, mentoring programs, and other
evidence-based activities can reduce risks associated with unintended
pregnancy or HIV and other STIs and increase communication,
decision-making, and healthy relationship skills needed to foster
relationships free of sexual violence. Parental and caregiver
monitoring, support, and effective communication with their children
about sexual topics can decrease sexual risk-taking behavior among
adolescents. Programs that empower parents and caregivers with the
knowledge and skills to effectively guide their children about sexual
health can effectively prevent sexual risk behavior among youth.”
Next
time you have a talk with your children’s principal at school ask them
about why your children’s sexual preference is included on their file.
This, of course, is not something that is known by hardly any parents
but I believe we will see how the groundwork setup in the public
education system to educate children to decide on their own whether or
not they prefer members of the opposite sex, both or members of the same
sex as sexual partners has been put into motion for some time. If you
as a parent with school age children in the public education system are
not aware of this, then you had better start finding out what the
government run education system is teaching your children on a daily
basis. The scope of the education system can be explained well through
authors like Bev Harris, John Taylor Gatto, Charlotte Iserbyt and Berit
Kjos.
I admit to finding some sort of humor about providing
education to seniors and there sexual activity. To ask grandpa and
grandma to attend an education seminar about safe sex is ridiculous.
Perhaps they can help teach the mentoring programs! In all seriousness
the government has NO BUSINESS instilling ‘sexual values’ in our
children. Taking a look at the pro sodomite, pro lesbian, make your own
choice governmental values, our country, our children are in some
serious trouble. It used to be that society as a whole taught the next
generation that you find a husband or wife and that is the one and only
one that you choose. We are long from those days and heading in a
direction that will only further our country’s moral depravation.
Under
preventive care the healthcare industry will also screen for sexually
transmitted diseases and administer preventive immunizations, such as
the HPV and Hep. B vaccinations. Parents, individuals old and young,
need to be given a clear definitive choice of whether or not to accept
and immunization or vaccination without the fear of having to pay
additional premiums that they cannot afford or do not want to pay.
There is much more to the vaccine story that I advise anyone who is not
aware of the potential side effects, poisoning or slow kill mechanisms
to look into, in order to make an educated decision.
Finally this
section will end with abortion. Using preventive care as an excuse the
government is forcing ALL hospitals, including catholic hospitals, to
provide the day after pill, birth control pills and other contraceptive
devices. Apparently Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and
Human Services has decided that there are no individual freedoms when it
comes to the ‘good of all’ under preventive care.
http://news.yahoo.com/u-gives-church-groups-birth-control-rule-200330535.html
What
happened to religious freedom? Is this not one of the reasons that
people immigrated to this country in the first place? Given this type
of news I think it is clear that preventive care is a VERY serious
portion of the Obamacare law. If the government can force health care
providers to give out pills that cause the murder of an innocent soul
against their direct beliefs then it would only seem logical that this
passed legislation will indeed overrule all of our personal liberties,
freedoms and replace it with a draconian form of government under
totalitarian rule.
Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
This is
the final section of the seven preventive sections that will be
introduced by the government in Obamacare. Yet this section is just as
dangerous as some of these other sections when it pertains to the
liberty and freedoms of all Americans. Jumping right into it I will
begin by quoting from the National Prevention Strategy again:
“Mental and emotional well-being is essential to overall health.
Positive
mental health allows people to realize their full potential, cope with
the stresses of life, work productively, and make meaningful
contributions to their communities. Early childhood experiences have
lasting, measurable consequences later in life; therefore, fostering
emotional well-being from the earliest stages of life helps build a
foundation for overall health and well-being. Anxiety, mood (e.g.,
depression) and impulse control disorders are associated with a higher
probability of risk behaviors (e.g., tobacco, alcohol and other drug
use, risky sexual behavior), intimate partner and family violence, many
other chronic and acute conditions (e.g., obesity, diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, HIV/STIs), and premature death.”
The term
‘positive mental health’ is a VERY dangerous one to be held as a power
over the American people through this healthcare law. Using such
terminology in regards to preventive care is not only dangerous but it
is the ultimate in suppressing individual thought and creates an
Orwellian situation. Imagine when whatever Big Brother considers to be
negative thoughts and/or actions that affect the health of individuals,
whether yourself or others around you, becomes an antisocial behavior
that requires either your employer to threaten your job, social workers
to take your kids or the health insurance industry to charge you more
money, becomes a reality. Think this isn’t possible, well you can see
that mental health in the above quote is linked to practically every
known condition or disease. To further illustrate this I will once
again quote from the same source:
“ Promote positive early childhood development, including positive parenting and violence-free homes.
The
early years of life are crucial to a child’s social, emotional, and
cognitive development. Positive parenting practices (e.g., spending time
interacting with children, communication and supportive supervision,
appropriate disciplinary actions, lack of alcohol and other drug abuse
in the home, and lack of violence directed to children and others)
reduce the likelihood of child maltreatment and of the emergence of
child behavioral problems. Family interventions (e.g., home visitation,
parenting training), and comprehensive center-based early childhood
development programs (e.g., Head Start) reduce the development of
aggressive and antisocial behaviors in children (e.g., bullying) and
their associated problems, such as substance abuse and delinquency. Such
programs also improve parent-child interactions and promote healthy
development and well-being in both parents and children.”
Listed
in this quote are some very serious revelations. Let’s start with
discussing ‘positive parenting practices’. One of the things listed
here is ‘appropriate disciplinary actions’. Here clearly under
preventive care this is understood to mean that the government is
directly going to tell you how to discipline or correct your children.
Maybe communities can just build giant day care prison camps for our
children to be reared by the government, for the good of all! Going a
little bit deeper in this quote we will now turn out attention to
‘family interventions’.
Not only will the government train you
how to raise your child but they will have home visits to ensure that
your house is a fit, violence-free, lovely home that follows all of the
proper procedures for raising your children, according to the government
through Obamacare. I can assure you that in these matters that involve
children it will not be additional premiums to be paid to your health
insurance company but will instead involve the state social workers that
are rather the enforcement arm of the federal and state government.
This is serious business, your rights to do what ALL parents have done
since the beginning of the founding of the country (since God created
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden) will be eroded. I can not stress
the importance enough of understanding what is around the corner,
beginning in 2014.
For those who do not have preschool or
elementary school age children let me make you aware about home visits.
Back when you went to school or likely when your children where in
school there were no such things as home visits. Now it is perfectly
acceptable for you preschool or elementary school teacher to visit once
per semester. In fact schools require that there are home visits, given
the opportunity for the teacher to have a face to face discussion with
the parents and children. Once again here is what appears to be some
conditioning on the part of those who are running this theater show that
we are living in. If this wasn’t crept up slowly it would cause a very
large shock in the general public and then likely would turn into a
large controversy with parents refusing home visits. I’ll close out
discussing about home visits with this quote from the same source:
Educate
parents on normal child development and conduct early childhood
interventions to enhance mental and emotional well-being and provide
support (e.g., home visits for pregnant women and new parents.)”
There
is also the problem with preventive care in the healthcare industry
working with Faith Based Initiatives (churches). Is your pastor also
going to be part of the team looking out for mental health problems,
drug and alcohol abuse, amongst other things? Unfortunately the answer
is affirmative. Already this past flu shot season (I’d rather call it
that then the flu season) there were some churches here and there across
the United States where pastors were telling their congregations to go
and get a flu shot.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/12/06/flu-shots-come-to-church.aspx
If
you made it this far in the article I am sure that you can see that
there is no end to the tyranny that can come out of Obamacare. I will
make a few finishing points with the mental and emotional wellbeing
section of this article and then move on.
• Mental health needs
will need to be ‘identified as early as possible’ which means infant
mental health screenings will become a reality.
• This will not
just be left alone to the school system or those who are parents.
Identifying stress and conditions at work is key to the prevention
section of Obamacare.
Miscellaneous Preventive Care
There
are other aspects of preventive care that need to be briefly discussed,
though I am not exactly sure under which of the seven arms of the
governmental control that they fit under, so I will just briefly discuss
these.
Yoga/Meditation
On many occasions in employer
health insurance literature I have seen promotion for doing yoga at
least one hour per week. The exhortation is given from these articles
or employer literature that recommend clearly your mind at least once
per week while doing meditation. Also under the same sort of thing is
replacing negative thoughts with positive self-talk. This sort of thing
can also be included on a monthly checklist that is turned into the
human resources department or entered online for an individuals health
insurance provider.
Shock Therapy
There was recently an
article though a large Michigan insurer that discussed shock therapy as a
means to relieving mental health problems. In the article they tried
to remove the stigmatism relating to such therapy by claiming that it is
currently once again on the rise and being used with positive results.
Spirituality
Spirituality
is listed as a preventive under certain employers healthy living plans.
Obamacare covers the body, mind and spirit under preventive care. I
wish I was joking, but it is all part of mental health and a positive
mind set. At this time I do not have any further details regarding this
aspect.
Financial Responsibility
Some employers are
mandating that a financial management class be taken in order to meet a
certain number of objectives as set forth from employer provided health
insurance. Under Obamacare it is a preventive that more people become
self sufficient. Their argument is that poverty leads to mental illness
which in turn leads to diseases and other health problems. So in order
to combat that, perhaps the government can pay your bills for you!
Donations/Volunteering
Same
as with financial responsibility this is also one thing that is
mandated in order to meet a certain amount of objectives as set forth by
a health insurance provider. Here employees are asked to clean out a
closet and go through your house to donate unwanted items to the poor or
to volunteer for some sort of organization. Doesn’t genuine assistance
to others come through individual choice not mandate?
Intellectual
There
are also employers working on including intellectual as part of the
health insurance reform. Your guess is as good as mine in regards to
what this exactly means. One thing I do know for sure is that under
Obamacare’s preventive care clauses they are going to ‘empower’ people
by giving them the ‘facts’ and ‘education’ necessary to fulfill the
dream of those running the show. Still looking at the other known facts
it might be that certain books are banned due to their negativity.
After researching this I would not dismiss that possibility.
Immunizations
This
one was saved for last. This is a very touchy subject with many
Americans and many parents. However, let it be known, that vaccines are
included in the preventive care section of Obamacare. There is also
mention of the flu shot being included in preventive care in some of the
health insurance industry’s own wellness literature.
Already the
government is setting the precedent for mandated shots. Many hospitals
are now requiring there workers get the flu shot on a yearly basis. As
I mentioned above with liberal arguments, there is already talk of
adding an additional half a dozen or more vaccinations for health care
workers (HCW’s). In Michigan there are a few hospital, including a
local one in northern Michigan, that has mandated that you either get
the shot or get another job. The only exemptions at the moment are a
medical waiver or religious waiver. Before you assume you would just
sign a religious waiver, let’s get some facts straight.
The
religious waiver is signed by the deacon, pastor or other leader of an
already established religious organization, proving that you are indeed a
member. An example of one religious establishment is the Jehovah
Witness organization. How many others are out there with such
documented beliefs I am uncertain about.
Already there is
pressure in state legislators across the country to also have similar
waivers for vaccinations. As these are pondered and eventually passed
there will be no philosophical or generic religious waivers left. At
the same time Big Pharma is looking for alternatives for those who have
allergies to eggs (flu shots) to still get there vaccination, just
designed a bit differently.
Just like every other preventive
measure being put into action it is the same argument that those who
refuse some or all vaccinations hear. That argument is that ‘everyone
else is put at risk because or your irresponsibility’ or ‘you shouldn’t
be able to not vaccinate your child, the state has a right to ensure the
safety of all of its children’. These are dangerous times we live in
and they are about ready to get much worse.
Unanswered Questions
Here
is where I am asking the readers of this article to go to nmto.org
(Northern Michigan Truth Out) and email one of the members or submit a
tip through the news tips section. Your help is needed and appreciated
in answering the following questions before we find out later.
Question #1
Around
75%+ percent of people are going to be subsidized in one form or
another with the American Affordable Care Act. A family of four can
earn approximately $80,000 per year and still be allowed some sort of
subsidy. So for the vast majority of Americans the question is this:
If
those individuals who are subsidized refuse to partake in all of the
preventive care portions of the health care (remember this supposedly
keeps the cost fair and low for all) will they lose their subsidy and
have to pay full price?
Question #2
A good percentage of
people will be under the Medicare/Medicaid portion authorized in this
bill. These low income people will not have to pay for health care at
all. In addition to that many (all?) states have programs that expand
out generously for children under Medicare. In Michigan a family of
four can make into the $40 something range and still qualify to have
their children under MI Child. So for these individuals, which with MI
Child are numerous, the question is this:
Will they be forced to
follow the protocols set forth under the preventive clauses of the
healthcare bill or else forfeit their ‘free’ insurance? Or will they
make these people pay up to 100% more (of which many could not afford)
of what it would normally cost? How will this work?
Question #3
For
those who have healthcare insurance provided by their employer there is
the threat of someone who is dragging down the herd (employees) by
making the employer’s health insurance policy more expensive for all by
unhealthy lifestyles. At least this is the argument that is being
given. The question is this:
In these cases will an employer who
pays for the health insurance of their employees be able to let go an
employee who refuses to participate in all of the wellness (preventive)
programs? If not, would this still be the case if an employee refuses
to have blood/urine samples taken during the annual visit from the
health insurance representatives (yes, employers are doing this NOW)?
What about when an employee refuses to be involved in mental health
screenings or other education health classes? Would this not create an
‘unsafe’ work environment for others, as defined above, and open the
employee up to termination of their employment?
Cost of Obamacare
The
overall cost of Obamacare for those who make over the limit (around
$70,000 with no kids and married) is not subsidized. In these cases
when you do have insurance and do not follow through with all of the
preventive care, your cost for healthcare insurance could as much as
double, assuming you buy your own policy. What would your starting
point be for cost? Right now it appears to be on track for around $600
per month for a low deductible ($1,500), late forty something
individual. So your cost per year could be $7,200 plus an additional
$3,600 for not complying.
The other point of discussion is the
deductible limits. For those who comply with all of the preventive care
there deductibles may be lowered each year as a reward. For those who
don’t and also want to pay the least amount they can for insurance under
the Obamacare mandate you are looking at $20,000 deductible PER YEAR
for a family with a total PER YEAR out of pocket expense of $27,000.
Don’t believe me, well check your state’s big insurance companies plan
pricing online. Right now two major insurers in Michigan already have
these plan in place for purchase.
What everyone who buys into the
exchange will not know until later, is that the cost presented at
current (which is lower than you may pay) is not telling you, what your
family or individual deductible will be or what plan you will have. My
understanding is that there will be a few different options of plans
available, one for the poor, one for the young and the silver, gold and
platinum plan. As of this writing that information has not been
available to me for final cost presentation.
Conclusion
What
exactly will take place under the guise of preventive care will not be
fully understood until it is too late. These are some serious
scenarios, probable scenarios and possible scenarios presented in this
article. There is ample evidence to demand that We The People get the
facts we need NOW and contact our representatives to overturn the
American Affordable Care Act. Why couldn’t we at least have a
healthcare program like Canada’s if we are going to do it
unconstitutionally anyway?
The answer to this is probable worse
than most want to realize. This is about total control of the
government over it’s citizens. Beginning in 2014 and ramping up beyond
that the government will literally own your body, your thoughts and your
economic conditions through this tyrannical piece of passed
legislation. It is up to you the reader to get this information out
there, check the facts, and educate those who you know. There is no one
who is going to fix this for you and me, we must do it ourselves.
Don’t forget that a bunch of tea partiers were recently put into office
and promised to overturn Obamacare. They managed to get rid of the
1099 provision but couldn’t even get a bill to overturn Obamacare out of
committee and unto the floor for a vote. The American people must
demand to those who represent us to truly do that…represent us.
